Running Up That Hill being released 1 month and 1 day after Billy died and Max deciding that was her favorite song, and she had to have it on cassette, and she had to listen to it all the time and she had to use that song to drown everything out—
She was imagining over and over what could have been and punishing herself.
And even though it was painful, the song brought her comfort.
I know people say Max had a lot of survivor's guilt and wanted to literally die in Billy's place, but Kate Bush also said the song was about men and women not understanding each other. Max had a deep desire to connect with Billy and have a sibling relationship with him. That mattered so much to her.
peter asks tony to do this silly tiktok trend with him so he can post it and show everyone he's taken.
tony allows it after a little bit of begging, but there's a price he's going to charge. after peter presses post while he's still using tony's lap as a seat, the boy feels tony's hands roam under his shirt and inside his pants.
peter has to reply to the flood of comments and texts with shaky hands while tony touches him and whispers filth in his ear, only peter is shameless and starts grinding onto his boyfriend's clothed boner asking for more.
